Tom,

As chance would have it I just received a new maple reference,
by Antoine le Hardy de Beaulieu. FYI, here's his bit on
'Globosum:'

"A very beautiful cultivar, 8 to 12m (26-39 ft) tall, with a flat
crown, and globular, very dense branching. This shape is
retained without cutting or pruning but develops slowly. The
green leaves are similar in shape but smaller than those of the
species. In early spring, the wholly unfolded young leaves
present a remarkable appearance: olive green, with red
bracts and beautiful yellow flowers -- truly magnificent. This
old cultivar is still very much in use. Its globular habit and
its proportions make it suitable for urban sites, tree rows,
lane borders, and so forth."

There are a couple of pictures, it looks very showy in springtime.
